VR Simulation Game Lets You Spacewalk From an Armchair in Your Room

DStv has been showing a lot of space-related movies lately. The day before it was Avatar and yesterday it was Arrival. We are getting used to seeing these guys fly out of the earth into space - where there is no force of gravity to hold you down.

Sometimes you imagine yourself wearing one of those space suits and really walking in space. Put on your space suits now. With the new VR game released by Opaque Space, your day dreams will become a reality.

Actually you won't be able to take 'all of you' into space. It's a virtual reality simulation game so 'some of you' will be in space - in the software - while the real part of you sits in an armchair moving aimlessly like some psycho - well that's how you may look while you're on a VR headset.

The name of the game is Earthlight and it was created by Opaque Space - a VR Studio.

If you want to know what people think about the game, you will find reviews on the Viveport website. But I know some of us just can't wait to get the spacewalk experience. So asking you to read the reviews first is just a waste of time.

But if you can't visit space with Earthlight VR Space simulation game, you could still make do with amazing VR games from PlayStation and other companies.
VR has come to stay. Apart from gaming, there are still a lot of places you could be and things you can do once you put on that a VR headset.
